Experimental analysis of residual stresses using the hole-drilling method

Residual stresses are mechanical stresses that act on a material without the influence of external forces. They are caused, for example, by thermal cooling or curing processes.

HBM offers you:

Selection of suitable measuring points: after analyzing the structure to be inspected, our service engineers work together with the employer to define critical areas and decide on the number and position of the measuring points.

Accomplishment of the measurement using strain gages, special drilling machines and software

Analysis of measurement data: after the measurement data has been analyzed, you will receive extensive documentation of the results, which you can use to optimize your development, production and quality control processes
